Make It

COOK pasta as directed on package, omitting salt.

MEANWHILE, cook chicken in large skillet on medium heat 5 to 6 min. or until done, stirring occasionally. Add next 5 ingredients; mix well. Cook 3 min. or until Neufchatel is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring frequently.

DRAIN pasta; place in large bowl. Add sauce; mix lightly. Sprinkle with Parmesan.

Food Facts

Some cooks prefer to drain the pasta well to prevent excess water from diluting the sauce, while others like a little moisture to help prevent pasta from sticking together. In any case, reserve a few tablespoons of cooking water to add to pasta if it starts to stick together or if you want to dilute the sauce.

my son loves this!! I've made it several times...sometimes I omit the chicken and use turkey bacon....

Delicious! I omitted the water and it came out fine. Quick, easy and the kids love it- what more can I ask for on a week night?

After following Cyndi's directions of using 8oz cream cheese instead of 4, this recipe is awesome! All my boys loved it, and not dry at all.

It was too dry. It needed more cream to it and lacked flavor.

I actually sauted the chicken in italian dressing. I also added 2 more ounces of cream cheese, for that added creaminess and just a touch more bacon. Of course, everyone should season to their own taste...but it's wonderful!

pretty good. I doubled all the sauce ingredients like several other people suggested and did not need to add water at all.

Very tasty but I did added a bit of garlic powder, basil, and onion powder. Fast, easy and my grandkids loved it and they are picky eaters.

I've made this several times and it always sounded better than it turned out. It didn't seem to have enough sauce or it wasn't cheesy enough. Finally tonight I left everything the same in the recipe, except I used the whole box (8 oz instead of 4) of the neufchatel cheese. It was awesome, everything it should have been the 1st time!
